an historical landmark in Ryder sim

The other day I created an alt and went inworld to meet with Fartgina Emert and Equino Faulkland to followup on an story I wrote earlier suggesting that Fartgina Emert was FatNigra of the PN.

While it is impossible to confirm anyone’s identity on the internet – even with an IP address – I am convinced that I was wrong in the previous article. Voice changer software can be used to disguise one’s voice, but at best there would have been delays during interactions, and at worst it would have been painlessly obvious – as anyone who has interacted in voice with certain babyfurs is well aware. There were no indication of voice chnager software during my interview.

In fact, both Equino and Fartgina were pleasant to speak with and overall pretty funny guys.

I am very sorry for dragging both of their names through the mud. It is unfortunate that that happened . Not only is fartgina not FatNigra of the PN, but he is not am employee of the Ryder sims. I assumed that he was an administrator based on his title and the fact that he owned land in the Ryder Haven sim, but I should have dug deeper.

Fartgina and Equino calmly laughed and joked while they told me the story about how the pool, and the Nigra statue came to be.

‘I never finished building the pool and two of my buddies came in and textured it, then Braadworst Barth, another friend left the statue as a joke.’ Fartgina explained.

The statue has been redecorated since my last visit with a red carpet and velvet rope.

Fartgina explained how he picked his name, telling me how a friend in IRC was making a joke about buying ethiopian kids from a charity organization, and how the 5th kid was named ‘Fartgina’ (pronounced Fart-j-eye-na). I stood and talked with them for about an hour and a half before the discussion turned back to the ‘closed pool’ behind us.

‘I’ve declared it a historical landmark’ Equino joked.

I laughed, and then apologized again to Equino.

‘No worries, we just want the record set straight’, he told me.

I took a group picture with the guys and said my goodbyes before finally contacting a Linden staffer inworld to advise them of who I was so they could ban me.

    I hind it amusing that deadlycodec is capable of actual research and retracting false statements while supposedly more ‘legitimate’ SL e-journalists are not.

    Truely hilaroius.

    I second this. Alyx has a very solid and valid point.

    What say you wannabe SLH “journalists” (bloggers)??

    The herald stoops to new lows with this pathetic attempt to garner traffic by breaking every rule Linden Labs has. This “reporter” is a known griefer, who has been banned from accessing Second Life. The only way he gets away with it is by using illegal circumventing. Breaking the law to get a “good” story? This proves to anyone with the intelligence of more than a cucumber that the Herald is nothing more than griefer-infested gossip garbage, and Mistral and her ilk need to be banned from second Life.

    Rest assured, we will be poking our heads into this new Woodbury, and knowing the record it’s inhabitants have, it shan’t be on the grid for more than a week or two.

    -rolls eyes-

    Ok “Kalel Venkman.” Go back under your hole comment imposter/poser.

    I’ll admit, you posing as Kalel Venkman was kinda funny at first. Now you ran it into the ground and it’s just lame and stupid now.

    Go find another way to troll you poser, you fail.

    I find it funny when i come over to the herald every few months to only ever find CRAP articles about Greifers and stupid pictures of models. the herald has turned into the equivalant of the SUN in the uk. Full of shit with articles no one wants to hear about nor read about. Today has made my mind up regarding this and no wonder the herald and its writers are regarded as a laughing stock in SL.

    bye

    Actually, there are quite a few of us who just like to see Kalel BAWWWW. Hell, one of us might actually BE the real Kalel trying to make himself look good by posting shit that everybody knows isn’t him, etc.

    Lol , funny . D3adlyc0d3c has shown integrity by correcting the article with this followup .LL needs to un-ban him. Its also funny that some think he is “breaking laws” by creating alts to get in world… Laws? The TOS are not laws……. ’911 whats your emergency?’ yes..I need to report something…d3adlyc0d3c has logged onto an massively multi-player online game… ‘Deadly-what? d3adlyc0d3c!!! He is not supposed to! ‘And?’ Well you see, the Lindens have banned his account, gosh-darnit!! Go Get HIM! ‘Sir, goodnight and do not call back’

    I like reading the Herald. With casinos gone, violent roleplay gone, extreme sexplay gone, banking monetaryplay gone, fbi inworld, cia inworld, interpol inworld, with all those things pushing SL towards boredom, mind aching boredom, thank goodness that there is something like the Herald stirring things up and agitating things a little bit. If griefing was to totally disappear in SL things would degenerate into total mediocrity in no time. No more united against a common enemy, residents would begin to turn on each other even more than whats already beginning along those lines as monoteny sets in. I think LL knows this and realizes that they NEED the griefers to a certain extent to maintain a level of expectation of the unknown in the residents, a touch of anarchy to spice up daily life, and a locust for the SL wannabe police do-gooder type of residents (and land barons) to turn their paranoia towards instead of each other. So rock on SL Herald :)
